Thanks B de P! I was confused, as when you hover the mouse over the blue 'button' (telechargement de fichier) it says 'download file'. The grey and blue tabs look as if they are to download the wonder-product. Got it now!

Nick Parsons asked "djh, that's where someone with some knowledge wins over me! have I enabled Javascript? Is it not normally enabled? What is it? Etc!!"

Javascript is enabled by default. It's a "scripting" language that executes programs inside the browser on your computer. In theory, it's perfectly safe. Also in theory, if it or the browser has any bugs, some malicious person could use it to attack your machine. Javascript implementations have been very prone to bugs as have browsers. There are people who think the risk is sufficent to be careful and I'm one of those people. I use a well-known Firefox add-on called NoScript, written by somebody even more paranoid than me.

Edit: Oh, and while malicious websites are an obvious source of attacks, so are websites written by careless or ignorant programmers. So any sign of a website not working properly is a good hint not to enable javasript for it. And so is a website that invites you to download free, unasked-for, unrelated software.

BTW, the photos are not of the current project that the download .pdf is about. The large old window isn't obstructed because the new roof has a hipped end backfalling to the cill - in fact the backslope is a skylight so you can look down into the Dining Room.
